Here is what we’ve prepared for you with this release of our now AI-powered App builder platform.
AI-Powered Data Creation
One of the most tedious tasks in app development is creating and managing datasets. Whether you’re building a prototype or a fully functional app, the need for data is constant. With App Builder AI, you can generate sample datasets instantly, tailored to specific use cases like healthcare records or financial forecasts. This feature isn’t just about convenience; it’s about accelerating the entire development process by eliminating the need for live data integration during the early stages.
Here is a prompt example you can use to kick-start the feature usage:
“Create a Web Development Courses table that has columns for courseID, name, description, and rating. The data set should include all available web frameworks out there.”
Speed Up Prototyping with AI-Driven Image Generation
Imagery is a core component of any application, but sourcing or creating high-quality visuals can be a bottleneck. App Builder AI takes the hassle out of this by allowing you to generate images from natural language prompts. Whether you need placeholder graphics or final assets, the images are directly integrated into your app’s assets panel, ready for immediate use.
Here is a prompt example you can use to kick-start the feature usage:
“Generate a playful splash screen with a boy floating up with balloons, illustrated in a soft watercolor style.”
What’s Next for App Builder AI?
As App Builder AI continues to evolve, users can look forward to even more powerful features. Upcoming enhancements include dynamic view layout creation, which automatically designs and integrates various pages within your application, ensuring responsive and engaging UX. These advancements will further streamline your workflow, allowing you to focus on the creative and strategic aspects of development.
The following concepts represent potential paths for AI integration that we’re actively exploring. While these features aren’t guaranteed to be delivered, they reflect the innovative directions we’re considering to enhance your app development experience further. These possibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Themes generation
- Viewport size generation
- Sketches to UI generation
- Entire Views generation
Ensure Rich and Modern styling accross your app
Having a modern app design is critical to delivering a professional and cohesive user experience.
